Ptarmigan Track Flights From Eielson Base
A B-29 of the 375th Weather Reconnaissance squadron flies the Ptarmigan Track from Eielson Air Force Base to the North Pole and back every 48 hours. The mission gathers Arctic weather data to forecast U.S. conditions, while training crews in extreme cold, navigation without beacons, and high altitude meteorology.
